How does a leader inspire greater commitment and productivity?

This video demonstrates the proven adage that worker productivity and job satisfaction rise when people know their work makes a difference. Leaders see the behaviors that either convey (or fail to convey) that an employee's contribution matters.

When workers know their work makes a difference, productivity rises and so does job satisfaction.  -Psychology Today, "Making a Difference at Work"

The video follows Tom, a competent manager, on his quest to find out what makes Elliot, an exceptional manager in his organization, so inspiring to his workers. He learns that Elliot found what was meaningful in their work, and communicated that - in words and actions - to everyone on his team.
